Angels acquire reliever Dominic Leone from Mets

ATLANTA -- The Los Angeles Angels capped a busy trade deadline on Tuesday by acquiring reliever Dominic Leone from the New York Mets for minor league shortstop Jeremiah Jackson.

The 31-year-old Leone was 1/3 with a 4.40 ERA in 31 games with the Mets. The right-hander is 22-23 with a 3.75 ERA for his career, which began in 2014 with Seattle.

Jackson, 23, was hitting .248 with 15 homers, 56 RBI and 21 stolen bases for Double-A Rocket City. He was a second-round draft pick by Los Angeles in 2018.

Also on Tuesday, the Angels sent left-hander Tucker Davidson to the Kansas City Royals for cash.
